MOYERS AND COMPANY: WHY WALL STREET MAY BE GETTING
OFF EASY
Bill Moyers
This week on Moyers and Company. That deal between the Justice Department and JPMorgan Chase requires a
second look.
Gretchen Morgenson
If the Justice Department were being tough on Wall Street, they would be talking about bringing criminal cases
against individuals who helped to perpetrate this immense crisis.

Welcome! You could not miss it here in Manhattan the other day, the big, bold headline across the front page
of the tabloid, New York Post, screaming one of those sick, slick lies that are a trademark of Rupert Murdoch's
right wing media empire. There was Uncle Sam, brandishing a revolver and wearing a burglar's mask. "Uncle
Scam," the headline shouted, "U.S. robs bank of $13 billion."
Say what? That my friends, is pure whitewash and Murdoch's minions know it. That $13 billion is the
settlement the country's biggest bank is negotiating with the government to settle its own rip-off of American
homeowners and investors, those shady practices that five years ago have triggered the financial meltdown
including manipulating mortgages and sending millions of Americans in the bankruptcy are foreclosure. And
this is not the only scandal JPMorgan Chase is juggling. A six billion dollar settlement with institutional
investors is in the works and criminal charges may still be filed in California. The bank is under investigation on
so many fronts, it is hard to keep them sorted out. Everything from the deceptive sales and its credit card
union, to Bernie Madoffs Ponzi scheme, to the criminal manipulation of energy markets and the bribing of
Chinese officials, nor is JPMorgan Chase the only culprit under scrutiny.
Bank of America was found guilty just this week of civil fraud and eight other banks are being investigated by
the government for mortgage fraud. No wonder Wall Street's camp followers at Fox News, the Wall Street
Journal, CNBC and other cheerleaders h ...

The document discusses postpartum complications, specifically postpartum thyroiditis. It notes that postpartum thyroiditis is an underdiagnosed health complication for women who have experienced a sudden end to pregnancy such as miscarriage or termination. Symptoms include depression, weight gain issues, temperature regulation problems, and fatigue. Up to 25% of American women experience slight thyroid slowdowns, but the symptoms often go untreated or are dismissed by doctors. The document provides tips for identifying a sluggish thyroid through home temperature testing and recommends steamed vegetables to boost thyroid function due to their iodine content.

The document discusses the roots of the subprime mortgage crisis and how policies under the Clinton administration contributed greatly to the expansion of subprime mortgages. Specifically, changes to the Community Reinvestment Act in 1994 put pressure on banks to make loans to low-income borrowers through increased regulations and enforcement. This led banks to issue more subprime mortgages to maintain high CRA compliance scores. The massive growth in subprime lending from these policy changes was a key factor that helped drive the financial crisis. Clinton does not regret repealing Glass-Steagall, which further enabled risky behavior in the financial system.
The document discusses the housing bubble and its causes. It argues that loose monetary policy and government policies promoting homeownership led to a misallocation of resources and artificial inflation of housing prices. This created a bubble that has now burst, leading to an economic recession. In the long run, there is a concern that the government failures that caused the crisis will not be admitted and more power will be given to the same mechanisms that caused the problems.

JOBS Act Rulemaking Comments on SEC File Number S7-11-13 Dated July 26, 2014Jason Coombs
The letter is from the co-founder and CEO of Public Startup Company to the SEC regarding Title IV of the JOBS Act and Regulation A+. It argues that Title IV must preempt state securities regulation to allow direct investment between individuals and restore freedom of communication and equity investment relationships. It criticizes the SEC for failing to enact JOBS Act rules as mandated by Congress and for investigating the company when it tried to use Regulation D Rule 506(c). The letter urges the SEC to stop aiding banks and declare all people as equity-worthy to establish a viable market for Regulation A+ securities.

Theme one is to identify the types of cultures or models of cultures and how they work or fit within an organization
Learning Activity #1
Using your reading material create a chart that describes the type, characteristics of the culture, associated values that would be important to keep the culture alive, and kinds of organizations structures that work best for culture. Compare and contrast them in your explanation of the chart. For instance what culture might work for Joe at the new sawmill and then which one might work at Purvis' shoe company.
Theme two: How to Create, Change, and Align Culture to the Structure and Vision.
Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

homework using the header function.
Homework questions:
1. Why do you think it took from 1999, when the XBRL concept was invented, until 2009
for the SEC require that public filers adopt?
2. From the PWC Webcast on XBRL, what are the differences between the “bolt-on” and
“embedded” approach to XBRL?
3. If you worked in the Finance and Accounting department of a company, how could you
use XBRL tags to help in your job? Could XBRL tagging help other functions in a
company do their jobs?
4. US public filers are required to begin tagging and reporting financial data using XBRL
beginning in 2009. From earlier in this course, they also have many major projects that
are required now or in the coming years (IFRS, Fair Value, etc.). Aside from the obvious
benefit of job creation for CPA’s and the companies which provide these
services/software ☺, what impact do you think these requirements are going to have on
companies? Will this divert attention and resources from their core business or will this
be like all other changes they go through (e.g. SOX), an intense implementation then
business as usual?

Name 1 Should Transportation Security Officers Be A.docxgilpinleeanna

Should Transportation Security Officers Be Armed?
It is the opinion of this writer that Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) should not be
armed. It is my intent to illustrate that point in this paper. During my research I will weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of arming TSOs, examining each side of the argument. I will also
offer a potential solution that while costly will still prove to be less costly than arming TSOs.
What has led to this discussion? For a majority of our society it takes years and certain
events to take place in our lives for change to occur. Those events include graduating High
School/College, getting married, or having children. In a matter of only five short minutes on
the morning of November 1st, 2013, some individual’s lives changed forever. On that morning
Paul Anthony Ciancia, age 23, opened fire in Terminal 3 of the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). His senseless acts killed a TSO, while injuring six other individuals. The
shooting has been debated over and over again on whether it is a terrorist act or not. The
activities before, during, and after the shooting will show the acts were certainly a terrorist
attack. But more importantly could any deaths or injuries have been avoided if the TSOs were
armed? These is the question that will continue to be debated and one that will be addressed in
this paper.
Synopsis of the event that led up to this argument:
Shortly after being dropped off at the airport by his roommate, Paul Ciancia pulled out a
rifle and began opening fire. He was carrying luggage that was filled with a semiautomatic .223
caliber Smith & Wesson M&P-15 rifle, five 30-round magazines, and hundreds of additional
rounds of ammunition ("Lax shooting suspect," 2013). Walking up to the TSA checkpoint,
Ciancia pulled out a rifle and opened fire hitting TSO Gerardo Hernandez in the chest. Ciancia

then apparently moved into the screening area where he continued to fire striking two other
TSOs and a male citizen. According to eye witnesses, Ciancia continually asked civilians if they
were TSA officers, when they said “no” he moved on without shooting them ("Lax shooting:
Latest," 2013). Ciancia made it as far as the food court some five minutes after the first shots
were fired. He was then surrounded by LAX police officers who engaged him in a gunfight.
Shortly after the gunfight ended Ciancia was taken into custody where he had to be transported
to a nearby trauma hospital for gunshot wounds (Abdollah, 2013).
In total eight individuals had to be treated at the scene. Four victims were treated for
gunshot wounds, while the others were treated for other injuries ("6 hospitalized after," 2013).
The sole suspect Paul Ciancia was carrying a note on him that stated he “wanted to kill TSA”
and describe them as “pigs”, the note also mentioned “fiat currency” and “NWO” ("Lax shooting

"Uncle Vanya"
“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
But up to now, he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined,
and the land grows poorer and uglier”
The play “Uncle Vanya” written by Anton Chekhov is a pearl of the classics of Russian literature. Anton Chekhov left a great legacy in a form of his plays and short stories for the classics of world literature. Without a shadow of doubt, this masterpiece, written by one of the most prominent the Russian playwrights of his time, should be read with further analysis and discussion. “Uncle Vanya” is a realist play and Chekhov tried to make its scenes as true-to-life as possible. Chekhov spent one year writing “Uncle Vanya” and introduced a number of changes between the years 1896 – 1897. The final version of his play is famous worldwide. The plot of the play narrates a heartbreaking story of how the main hero, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky or Uncle Vanya that was a rather calm and quiet man undergoes a moral “rebirth” developing a spirit of a rebellion. Uncle Vanya, the main hero of the play, can be characterized as a bitter aging man who spent his life in toil working for his brother-in-law. Chekhov depicted the character of uncle Vanya as a misanthrope who recognized the miserable nature of other characters.
Moreover, Chekhov’s play also involves a number of other important issues that are experienced by the play’s characters. These issues include the feeling of pointless life lacking meaning, missed opportunities, and the most touching feeling of blind admiration. It should be admitted that Chekhov used to create hidden meaning in his plays to make the readers think critically not only of his work but of their lives either. Therefore, in the play, Chekhov made every character individualistic. For instance, the central character in the play, Uncle Vanya, cares about patrimony and the Serebryakov’s family’s property. Throughout the play, uncle Vanya finds himself dismissed and rejected without the right for an opinion. Chekhov also pointed out the suffering of other characters who struggle to change their lives for better. The play consists of a number of personal dramas that are interconnected.
It can be stated that Chekhov included a number of opposite lines in his play such as the choice between obedience or riot, feeling of admiration and disrespect. The following lines from the play demonstrate the feeling of disappointment and understanding the pointlessness of a situation: “”I’m mad — but people who conceal their utter lack of talent, their dullness, their complete heartlessness under the guise of the professor, the purveyor of learned magic — they aren’t mad” (Uncle Vanya). Uncle Vanya is concerned about the wasted years and the thought of how his life could look like in case he used the opportun ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Habitable Zones – Student Guide
Exercises
Please read through the background pages entitled Life, Circumstellar Habitable Zones, and The Galactic Habitable Zone before working on the exercises using simulations below.
Circumstellar Zones
Open the Circumstellar Zone Simulator. There are four main panels:
· The top panel simulation displays a visualization of a star and its planets looking down onto the plane of the solar system. The habitable zone is displayed for the particular star being simulated. One can click and drag either toward the star or away from it to change the scale being displayed.
· The General Settings panel provides two options for creating standards of reference in the top panel.
· The Star and Planets Setting and Properties panel allows one to display our own star system, several known star systems, or create your own star-planet combinations in the none-selected mode.
· The Timeline and Simulation Controls allows one to demonstrate the time evolution of the star system being displayed.
The simulation begins with our Sun being displayed as it was when it formed and a terrestrial planet at the position of Earth. One can change the planet’s distance from the Sun either by dragging it or using the planet distance slider.
Note that the appearance of the planet changes depending upon its location. It appears quite earth-like when inside the circumstellar habitable zone (hereafter CHZ). However, when it is dragged inside of the CHZ it becomes “desert-like” while outside it appears “frozen”.
Question 1: Drag the planet to the inner boundary of the CHZ and note this distance from the Sun. Then drag it to the outer boundary and note this value. Lastly, take the difference of these two figures to calculate the “width” of the sun’s primordial CHZ.
CHZ Inner Boundary
CHZ Outer Boundary
Width of CHZ

Question 2: Let’s explore the width of the CHZ for other stars. Complete the table below for stars with a variety of masses.

Question 3: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the location of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Question 4: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Exploring Other Systems
Begin by selecting the system 51 Pegasi. This was the first planet discovered around a star using the radial velocity technique. This technique detects systematic shifts in the wavelengths of absorption lines in the star’s spectra over time due to the motion of the star around the star-planet center of mass. The planet orbiting 51 Pegasi has a mass of at least half Jupiter’s mass.
Question 5: Zoom out so that you can compare this planet to those in our solar system (you can click-hold-drag to change t ...

The document discusses the roots of the subprime mortgage crisis and how policies under the Clinton administration contributed greatly to the expansion of subprime mortgages. Specifically, changes to the Community Reinvestment Act in 1994 put pressure on banks to make loans to low-income borrowers through increased regulations and enforcement. This led banks to issue more subprime mortgages to maintain high CRA compliance scores. The massive growth in subprime lending from these policy changes was a key factor that helped drive the financial crisis. Clinton does not regret repealing Glass-Steagall, which further enabled risky behavior in the financial system.
The document discusses the housing bubble and its causes. It argues that loose monetary policy and government policies promoting homeownership led to a misallocation of resources and artificial inflation of housing prices. This created a bubble that has now burst, leading to an economic recession. In the long run, there is a concern that the government failures that caused the crisis will not be admitted and more power will be given to the same mechanisms that caused the problems.

The letter is from the co-founder and CEO of Public Startup Company to the SEC regarding Title IV of the JOBS Act and Regulation A+. It argues that Title IV must preempt state securities regulation to allow direct investment between individuals and restore freedom of communication and equity investment relationships. It criticizes the SEC for failing to enact JOBS Act rules as mandated by Congress and for investigating the company when it tried to use Regulation D Rule 506(c). The letter urges the SEC to stop aiding banks and declare all people as equity-worthy to establish a viable market for Regulation A+ securities.

Theme one is to identify the types of cultures or models of cultures and how they work or fit within an organization
Learning Activity #1
Using your reading material create a chart that describes the type, characteristics of the culture, associated values that would be important to keep the culture alive, and kinds of organizations structures that work best for culture. Compare and contrast them in your explanation of the chart. For instance what culture might work for Joe at the new sawmill and then which one might work at Purvis' shoe company.
Theme two: How to Create, Change, and Align Culture to the Structure and Vision.
Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

Should Transportation Security Officers Be Armed?
It is the opinion of this writer that Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) should not be
armed. It is my intent to illustrate that point in this paper. During my research I will weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of arming TSOs, examining each side of the argument. I will also
offer a potential solution that while costly will still prove to be less costly than arming TSOs.
What has led to this discussion? For a majority of our society it takes years and certain
events to take place in our lives for change to occur. Those events include graduating High
School/College, getting married, or having children. In a matter of only five short minutes on
the morning of November 1st, 2013, some individual’s lives changed forever. On that morning
Paul Anthony Ciancia, age 23, opened fire in Terminal 3 of the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). His senseless acts killed a TSO, while injuring six other individuals. The
shooting has been debated over and over again on whether it is a terrorist act or not. The
activities before, during, and after the shooting will show the acts were certainly a terrorist
attack. But more importantly could any deaths or injuries have been avoided if the TSOs were
armed? These is the question that will continue to be debated and one that will be addressed in
this paper.
Synopsis of the event that led up to this argument:
Shortly after being dropped off at the airport by his roommate, Paul Ciancia pulled out a
rifle and began opening fire. He was carrying luggage that was filled with a semiautomatic .223
caliber Smith & Wesson M&P-15 rifle, five 30-round magazines, and hundreds of additional
rounds of ammunition ("Lax shooting suspect," 2013). Walking up to the TSA checkpoint,
Ciancia pulled out a rifle and opened fire hitting TSO Gerardo Hernandez in the chest. Ciancia
Name:
2
then apparently moved into the screening area where he continued to fire striking two other
TSOs and a male citizen. According to eye witnesses, Ciancia continually asked civilians if they
were TSA officers, when they said “no” he moved on without shooting them ("Lax shooting:

"Uncle Vanya"
“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
But up to now, he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined,
and the land grows poorer and uglier”
The play “Uncle Vanya” written by Anton Chekhov is a pearl of the classics of Russian literature. Anton Chekhov left a great legacy in a form of his plays and short stories for the classics of world literature. Without a shadow of doubt, this masterpiece, written by one of the most prominent the Russian playwrights of his time, should be read with further analysis and discussion. “Uncle Vanya” is a realist play and Chekhov tried to make its scenes as true-to-life as possible. Chekhov spent one year writing “Uncle Vanya” and introduced a number of changes between the years 1896 – 1897. The final version of his play is famous worldwide. The plot of the play narrates a heartbreaking story of how the main hero, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky or Uncle Vanya that was a rather calm and quiet man undergoes a moral “rebirth” developing a spirit of a rebellion. Uncle Vanya, the main hero of the play, can be characterized as a bitter aging man who spent his life in toil working for his brother-in-law. Chekhov depicted the character of uncle Vanya as a misanthrope who recognized the miserable nature of other characters.
Moreover, Chekhov’s play also involves a number of other important issues that are experienced by the play’s characters. These issues include the feeling of pointless life lacking meaning, missed opportunities, and the most touching feeling of blind admiration. It should be admitted that Chekhov used to create hidden meaning in his plays to make the readers think critically not only of his work but of their lives either. Therefore, in the play, Chekhov made every character individualistic. For instance, the central character in the play, Uncle Vanya, cares about patrimony and the Serebryakov’s family’s property. Throughout the play, uncle Vanya finds himself dismissed and rejected without the right for an opinion. Chekhov also pointed out the suffering of other characters who struggle to change their lives for better. The play consists of a number of personal dramas that are interconnected.
It can be stated that Chekhov included a number of opposite lines in his play such as the choice between obedience or riot, feeling of admiration and disrespect. The following lines from the play demonstrate the feeling of disappointment and understanding the pointlessness of a situation: “”I’m mad — but people who conceal their utter lack of talent, their dullness, their complete heartlessness under the guise of the professor, the purveyor of learned magic — they aren’t mad” (Uncle Vanya). Uncle Vanya is concerned about the wasted years and the thought of how his life could look like in case he used the opportun ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Name:
Habitable Zones – Student Guide
Exercises
Please read through the background pages entitled Life, Circumstellar Habitable Zones, and The Galactic Habitable Zone before working on the exercises using simulations below.
Circumstellar Zones
Open the Circumstellar Zone Simulator. There are four main panels:
· The top panel simulation displays a visualization of a star and its planets looking down onto the plane of the solar system. The habitable zone is displayed for the particular star being simulated. One can click and drag either toward the star or away from it to change the scale being displayed.
· The General Settings panel provides two options for creating standards of reference in the top panel.
· The Star and Planets Setting and Properties panel allows one to display our own star system, several known star systems, or create your own star-planet combinations in the none-selected mode.
· The Timeline and Simulation Controls allows one to demonstrate the time evolution of the star system being displayed.
The simulation begins with our Sun being displayed as it was when it formed and a terrestrial planet at the position of Earth. One can change the planet’s distance from the Sun either by dragging it or using the planet distance slider.
Note that the appearance of the planet changes depending upon its location. It appears quite earth-like when inside the circumstellar habitable zone (hereafter CHZ). However, when it is dragged inside of the CHZ it becomes “desert-like” while outside it appears “frozen”.
Question 1: Drag the planet to the inner boundary of the CHZ and note this distance from the Sun. Then drag it to the outer boundary and note this value. Lastly, take the difference of these two figures to calculate the “width” of the sun’s primordial CHZ.
CHZ Inner Boundary
CHZ Outer Boundary
Width of CHZ
NAAP – Habitable Zones 1/7
Question 2: Let’s explore the width of the CHZ for other stars. Complete the table below for stars with a variety of masses.

CHZ Outer Boundary (AU)
Width of CHZ (AU)

Question 3: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the location of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Question 4: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Exploring Other Systems
Begin by selecting the system 51 Pegasi. This was the first planet discovered around a star using the radial velocity technique. This technique detects systematic shifts in the wavelengths of absorption lines in the star’s spectra over time due to the motion of the star around the star-planet center of mass. The planet orbiting 51 Pegasi has a mass of at least half Jupiter’s mass.
Question 5: Zoom out so that you can compare this planet to those in our solar system (you can click-hold-drag to change t ...

Hygiene Saves Lives
I. Intro: To give an informational speech about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis
A) Attention getter – On each square centimeter of your skin, there are about 1,500
bacteria. That’s a lot of germs. According to a study conducted by Michigan State
University researchers, 95% of people do not properly wash their hands long enough to
kill the infection causing germs and bacteria (Jaslow, “95 Percent of People Wash Their
Hands Improperly: Are You One of Them?”).
B) Purpose Statement - That’s gross. While I can’t force you to wash your hands, perhaps
today I can help you realize just how much history and evidence is behind this crucial
bathroom ritual.
C) Thesis – Today, I will inform you all about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis by discussing first
about his practice and studies, second about his scientific methods that saved a lot of
lives, and third about the germ theory we all take for granted.
II. BODY:
A) Main Point Number 1: To begin, I want to introduce Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis.
a) Ignaz Semmelweis became a physician and earned his doctorate degree in medicine
in 1844. This time period was known as the start of the golden age of the physician
scientist” (NPR.org). This means that doctors were expected to have scientific
training. Doctors were more interested in numbers and collecting data (Justin Lessler,
an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health).
b) In 1846, Dr. Semmelweis showed up for his new job in the maternity clinic at the
General Hospital in Vienna. Due to the time period, Dr. Semmelweis thought like a
physician scientist and wanted to figure out why so many women in maternity wards
were dying from childbed fever (Davis, “The Doctor Who Championed
Hand-Washing and Briefly Saved Lives”).
c) So what did he do? He collected data of his own. He studied two maternity wards in
the hospital. One was staffed by all male doctors and medical students, and the other
by female midwives. He tallied up the number of deaths in each ward and found that
women in the clinic staffed by doctors and medical students died at a rate 5 times ...

The document discusses the case of Terri Schiavo, who was in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. It summarizes the key facts of her medical condition and diagnosis, the disagreement between her husband and parents about continuing life-sustaining treatment, and the multiple legal appeals involved in the case. It concludes that while both sides wanted what was right for Terri, the central issue is determining what the patient herself would have wanted, which the courts found clear evidence for in Terri's case based on prior statements to her husband.

This document summarizes a proposed change by a Little League commission to eliminate scoring in games. The commission believes this will reduce stress in children, but the summary argues that:
1) There is no evidence scoring causes stress, and children face stress from many sources unrelated to baseball.
2) Removing scoring upends decades of tradition and takes away important lessons about effort and reward for children.
3) Parents will likely oppose the change as it diminishes their experiences supporting and bonding with their children over the game.

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

1. MOYERS AND COMPANY: WHY WALL STREET MAY BE
GETTING
OFF EASY
Bill Moyers
This week on Moyers and Company. That deal between the
Justice Department and JPMorgan Chase requires a
second look.
Gretchen Morgenson
If the Justice Department were being tough on Wall Street, they
would be talking about bringing criminal cases
against individuals who helped to perpetrate this immense
crisis.

Bill Moyers
Welcome! You could not miss it here in Manhattan the other
day, the big, bold headline across the front page
of the tabloid, New York Post, screaming one of those sick,
slick lies that are a trademark of Rupert Murdoch's
right wing media empire. There was Uncle Sam, brandishing a
revolver and wearing a burglar's mask. "Uncle
Scam," the headline shouted, "U.S. robs bank of $13 billion."
Say what? That my friends, is pure whitewash and Murdoch's
minions know it. That $13 billion is the
settlement the country's biggest bank is negotiating with the
government to settle its own rip-off of American
homeowners and investors, those shady practices that five years
ago have triggered the financial meltdown
including manipulating mortgages and sending millions of
Americans in the bankruptcy are foreclosure. And
this is not the only scandal JPMorgan Chase is juggling. A six
billion dollar settlement with institutional
investors is in the works and criminal charges may still be filed
in California. The bank is under investigation on
so many fronts, it is hard to keep them sorted out. Everything
from the deceptive sales and its credit card
union, to Bernie Madoffs Ponzi scheme, to the criminal
manipulation of energy markets and the bribing of
Chinese officials, nor is JPMorgan Chase the only culprit under
scrutiny.
Bank of America was found guilty just this week of civil fraud
and eight other banks are being investigated by
the government for mortgage fraud. No wonder Wall Street's
camp followers at Fox News, the Wall Street
3. Journal, CNBC and other cheerleaders have ganged up to
whitewash the banks. This could be the biggest egg
yet across the smug faced on untethered, unchecked,
unaccountable capitalism.
Let us sort this out with some who covers Wall Street without
fear, favor or flaming headlines. Gretchen
Morgenson has been called the most important financial
journalist of her generation. She won the Pulitzer
Prize for her tough journalism and her fair game column for the
New York Times combines old-fashioned,
shoe leather reporting with hard-won knowledge to help the rest
of us understand finance both high and low. I
recommend her most recent book written with Joshua Rosner,
"Reckless Endangerment." Welcome back.
Gretchen Morgenson
Thank you so much, Bill.
Bill Moyers
Is the Justice Department finally getting tough on the banks?
Gretchen Morgenson
I find it hard to use this $13 billion settlement number that
JPMorgan Chase is entertaining as evidence of the
Justice Department being tough on Wall Street. If the Justice
Department were being tough on Wall Street, they
would be bringing criminal cases. They would not be talking
about settlements. They would be talking about
bringing criminal cases against individuals who helped to
perpetrate this immense crisis.
So, to say that $13 billion is, "Finally, the Justice Department is
4. getting religion," I am just not a buyer of that.
Thirteen billion sounds like a lot of money, but to JPMorgan
Chase, who over the past five years has made $75
billion, that is net income, he does not want to part with it,
believe me. But it is not a huge number.
Particularly, if you were to look at what the sense on the dollar
is of what they are paying to get out of these
liabilities, people who had lost money in these mortgages, the
people who lost their homes are ... the numbers
are far larger than $13 billion. This is a number that has been
struck as part of a deal that may or may not be
agreeable to most of the parties at the table, but it is not a killer
number.
Bill Moyers
The Wall Street Journal and others are saying that what the
government is doing is a witch hunt. They are
shaking down JPMorgan.
Gretchen Morgenson
There is no doubt that there was wrong doing. They would not
be at the table negotiating if there was no
wrongdoing. And it is just a matter of what price each party is
willing to pay or receive. So, a shakedown to me
would seem that J.P. Morgan was innocent of any of the
accusations, and we know that not to be true, because
of what has come out in the private litigation, because of what
we have seen in the courts so far.
Bill Moyers
Defenders of J.P. Morgan and of Jamie Dimon will say, "There
were no criminal cases because there were no
crimes." These guys were bending the rules just a little bit, that
is the way the game goes.
Gretchen Morgenson
5. Eric Holder in fact has said that. The behavior was immoral, the
behavior was ugly, but perhaps it was not
criminal. Well, I do not know about you, Bill, but I do not
really have the confidence that the Justice Department
did a sufficient investigation to be able to determine whether it
was criminal behavior. Do you feel certain that
they did the job that was needed to say, "Look, we have gone
through all these many institutions that hurt so
many people, that brought the economy to its knees, and we
have determined through our thorough
investigation that there were no crimes." I do not think there
was a thorough investigation.
Bill Moyers
Well, you wrote the other day that the federal judges seem to be
losing patience with the banks. How so?
Gretchen Morgenson
There were a couple of cases that I highlighted because I though
it did show a new direction, a new sort of
aggressiveness. A lot of these judges, bankruptcy judges in
particular who have to see the bank's treatment of
homeowners who filed personal bankruptcy, they seem to really
be getting fed up with some of the tactics that
these ... the hardball tactics that the bank's litigants are doing in
their courtroom. They have had to witness so
many cases of banks running roughshod over borrowers,
whether it is by the banks not producing the
documentation that proves that they own the note underlying the
property, whether they produced erroneous
figures about what the borrowers owed. I mean, they have just
seen chapter and verse over the last five years
of really bad behavior by these banks. And I think it is finally
6. getting to them where they are saying, "Look, we
used to be sort of a believer, or we would take the creditors
point of view, now we are starting to wonder
about that and really take the borrower's side."
Bill Moyers
Well, Bank of America was found guilty this week of civil
fraud. Is it conceivable to you that Jamie Dimon of J.P.
Morgan could be negotiating with the Justice Department
because he does not want to go to a trial by jury in
which the bank would be found guilty?
Gretchen Morgenson
I do not think any financial institution, Bill, wants to go before
a jury nowadays. I am sure you meet people
everyday as I hear from them everyday about how upset they
are, disturbed they are by what they have seen
in their own lives, that what the banks have done. So, I do
believe that no financial institution wants to be ...
had any of these aired before a jury.
Bill Moyers
I actually talked to a man on the street this morning, and it was
a man in the subway. And he said to me, "I try
to follow this, but it is so complicated. The issues are so arcane,
the ice glaze over." What would you say to him
about why he should keep trying to pay attention? What are the
stakes for people like that?
Gretchen Morgenson
I think what this really underscores is two things. One is, that
we are still in a situation where these large
financial institutions are just too big to manage, and they are
still threatening the populous. We have really not
fixed too big to fail. And so, until we do, until these institutions
can no longer threaten the tax payer with a
7. possible bailout, then that is something that people really need
to watch and care about. But the other thing
that I think this underscores is, the degree to which these large
financial institutions lost their way in the years
leading up to the crisis.
Finance at its best should be positive. It should be something
that helps people, whether it is helping
companies hire more workers to produce something that people
want to buy, whether it is helping
homeowners to get a home and to keep the home, not to have an
exploding interest rate that they cannot
afford, constructive finance, right? But what we saw and what
these $13 billion also indicates is the destructive
nature of finance in the early 2000s and continuing. I mean, the
idea of putting together a mortgage security
that was designed to collapse in pieces, in heap, is just a new
low in my view. It is not constructive. That is not
constructive finance.
Bill Moyers
We had Goldman Sachs and others who were playing their own
customers off against each other, putting the
interest of the institution, the executives and the managers
ahead of their clients.
Gretchen Morgenson
I call it "me first-ism". I mean, and you see it just all over the
place. So, I think that is what we really need to
take away from this. And people can dispute whether 13 billion
is enough, or whether J.P. Morgan and Jamie
Dimon should feel... that we should feel sorry for them because
they have to pay these amount. By the way,
the shareholders are paying it, not Jamie Dimon. Nobody is
paying for it who were actually on the scene of this
particular bad acts remembered. So, instead of focusing on the
8. number, whether it is fair, whether the
government is picking on J.P. Morgan, I think we just want to
step back and say, "Look, this is an indication of
what went wrong, how that went off the rails," and you cannot
let it happen again.
Bill Moyers
It strikes some people thatJ.P. Morgan,Jamie Dimon, the board,
the directors, the top executives are using
other people's money, the shareholders money to buy get-out-of-
jail free pass or to hide their own
misconduct.
Gretchen Morgenson
Well, it certainly is true that none of the top executives are
paying the price for any of these mortgage
infractions. They certainly were not paying the price for the six
billion dollar loss in the so called "London
Whale" episode. In that episode, there was manipulation of the
market by the traders at J.P. Morgan to try to
help their position because it was going so wrong for them.
Now, Jamie Dimon did not take a bonus last year, and that was
talked about as a punishment for not having
managed properly this six billion dollar problem. But it really
does not become accountable. You are not
accountable if you do not have to pay the price for some of this
behavior.
Bill Moyers
Do you find it remarkable, Jamie Dimon asking for a personal
meeting with the Attorney General, Eric Holder
to decide in private on a penalty? Michael Hirsh in the National
9. Journal calls it a "personal summit meeting,"
and he goes on to say that these negotiations would only have
been possible if the government of the United
States is itself afraid of disturbing the operations of the bank.
That as you have said, the Attorney General
himself thinks J.P. Morgan is indeed too big to fail.
Gretchen Morgenson
It seems unusual to me, and it does smack of favoritism, special
treatment. It certainly was unusual, I would
say for Eric Holder, the Attorney General for the United States
of America, to have a personal meeting with
someone that his office is negotiating a settlement with. That
raised eyebrows with me. I know I would not be
able to get that meeting if I asked and if I implored, no. So, I
mean I think it really sends a signal also which is
disturbing that again, two sets of rules in America, there is one
set for the people who are in positions of
power, certainly in the financial world, one set of rules perhaps
for them. One set for the rest of us. I really do
not understand why Eric Holder could ... would not have
decided that it was the optics. Just did not look that
good for him to meet with Jamie Dimon, but maybe there is
something behind it that I do not know.
Bill Moyers
Well, as you know, settlements by their very nature benefit both
parties to some degree. Why do you think J.P.
Morgan is getting out of this?
Gretchen Morgenson
Well, they get this PR out there that this is a huge number, and
that they are the beleaguered bank. But what
they do get out of it in some cases is tax deductibility, certain
aspects of settlements are tax deductible, and
they can use that as a negotiating chip for the entire settlement
10. if the Justice Department allows it. So, we are
not clear yet on how much of this will be tax deductible. That
would certainly be a benefit to JPMorgan Chase,
and it would mean that the tax payers are once again subsidizing
this very profitable large institution.
Also, there is a sense that maybe we can put this behind us. We
have paid the freight. We are ... we have been
held accountable, but again, the problem with that argument is
that it is the shareholders who were being held
accountable paying the price, not the actual perpetrators.
Bill Moyers
What I hear you saying is that the wrongdoing at J.P.
Morgan.Jamie Dimon's own failure to manage the
offenses created by other executives and by traders and all of
that. All of that cost, or much of that cost is
being passed to down to taxpayers and shareholders.
Gretchen Morgenson
Yes, that is correct.
Bill Moyers
That does not seem fair.
Gretchen Morgenson
Well, that is our system unfortunately. Now, the Justice
Department can say, "No, we will not allow any of these
to be tax deductible." The tax rules do require that any kind of
remuneration to say, investors who were hurt
in their mortgage securities, or borrowers who were being given
some sort of dispensation for the ... maybe,
abusive tactics of the bank. That will automatically be tax
deductible.
11. So, there is some element of it that is often really must. But, I
think that... yeah, when you start to do the math
and you see who is actually paying the price, it really is making
the wrong people pay.
Bill Moyers
As you know, Dimon has his defenders and they are all giving
him his pass because as someone said, the
company is a cash generating machine. You can get away with
these things as long as you are producing a big
profit, right?
Gretchen Morgenson
Well, that is typically been the answer, and it explains away
multiple sins as you know, Bill, such as overly paid
chief executive officers. As long as the company is making
money, the millions that they take home every year
do not really bother people. There is something wrong with that
argument.
Also, there is a lot of defenders saying, "Look, a lot of this 13
billion was the result of Jamie Dimon's purchase
of Washington Mutual in the heat of the crisis, 2008,
September, or/and its purchase of Bear Stearns, March
2008." And so really, it is not the bad behavior of J.P. Morgan,
it is that he took on the liabilities of these two
rouge enterprises and so now, he is paying the price. But he
received a tremendous amount, number of
benefits by acquiring both of these companies and essentially, a
fire sale.
I think they had a two billion dollar benefit immediately from
the purchase of WaMu. And in the purchase of
Bear Stearns, they got a beautiful, almost brand new building on
Madison Avenue. So, I do not think that you
12. can simply say that because much of the 13 billion has to do
with these two enterprises that Mr. Dimon
purchased in the fire sale, that that means that it is really not a
net benefit for him.
Bill Moyers
He did not do it as charity. He did it because he calculated it
would be a very good business investment.
Gretchen Morgenson
Correct.
Bill Moyers
So, help my audience understand why the directors and the
managers do not have to cough up?
Gretchen Morgenson
What shall we call it, the "$64 trillion question?" You have
shareholders who were accepting the status quo
with ... they are fine with. You cannot have change until you
have the owner start to pick up the pitchforks and
say, "I am not going to stand for this anymore. Someone has to
be held accountable." We have not seen that
yet, and so, the question is "Why?" Well, is it because you have
these large institutions such as the mutual fund
organizations that do not want to rock the boat? It is my money,
it is your money that they are managing. I
might like them to rock the boat, but they choose not to,
perhaps because of their financial relationships with
the institutions whose shares they own on my behalf.
So, there are many questions as to why shareholders have been
so complacent about these directors. It is a
real dysfunctional system all around. And until shareholders
start to take action and say, "Look, we want
accountability in the boardroom," and until you have people
13. inside these organizations standing up and
saying, "I would rather be in a business that provides
constructive finance for people," rather than saying, "Oh,
look at the profits in this kind of creepy thing that we could
construct and sell to people without them knowing
it." Until you have people on the inside who take that issue and
say, "I want to be in the business of helping
people, not hurting them," how is going to change?
